iOS has had an issue for years now, where if you lock the screen of the iPhone that using the personal hotspot, it will automatically disconnect for some stupid reason. Android doesn’t have this problem. I think the reasoning is, because iOS and android used to different hotspots. Say I use my sisters, android devices are hotspot, and that never happens when I lock my device. Can Apple use the same Wi-Fi hotspot very because this is really annoying

iPad and MacBook Pro. And my wife’s iPad occasionally.

I remember reading once that if your device is on the same Apple id then it should connect without having to open the phone hotspot settings screen, however I’m not sure how you wouldn’t have the issue when connecting from say your wife’s which most likely is a separate Apple ID.
